Hadeija, a Nigerian national, is alleged to be involved in serious transnational crimes and is accused of spreading misleading information. His arrest has intensified scrutiny and reactions from various quarters, including notable figures such as Zamfara State’s Governor and a former National Security Adviser.
It is alleged that during interrogation by the force headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force, the suspect was alleged to have mentioned the names of top officials in the Ministry of Defence, top officials of Zamfara state government, erstwhile NSA, former Director of DSS. It was stated that he never mentioned the name of the minister of State for Defence. The suspect has been seen in photographs with top officials of the Federal Government including the minister of defence. A source alleged that some of these important politicians the suspect mentioned are working assiduously to establish a phantom nexus between the suspect and the minister of State for defence to achieve a sinister political motive.
In response to these allegations, officials like the Minister of State for Defense, Dr. Bello Matawalle, have publicly denied any involvement, emphasizing their commitment to national security and public service. They have raised concerns that these claims may serve as a diversion from the core issues under investigation and have advised the public to cautiously approach these allegations. They urge reliance on verified information while the investigations are ongoing.
This situation underscores the necessity for careful assessment of unverified claims and highlights the importance of transparency and due process in addressing such matters.
